Resetting Watt-Hours

1.

To reset watt-hours to zero and begin a new recording cycle,
press the "SHIFT" key, followed by "START".

2.

Recording of new data begins immediately upon pressing
"START".

3.

If the unit is in the watt-hour mode and is switched to another
mode, pressing the "W" key once returns the unit to the watt-
hour mode, not the power mode as may be expected.

4.

It is necessary to press the "W" key twice in order to return to
the power measurement mode.

3.5 Making Voltage-to-Voltage Phase Angle
Measurements

Continuous phase angle measurements between two voltage sources
can be performed with the 918B, using an optional Auxiliary
Voltage Adapter (Arbiter Systems Model 09184A). The adapter is
plugged into the current input and a single test lead is used to
connect to the second voltage source. The negative (-) test lead from
the front-panel voltage input is used as the common ground for both
inputs.
